### SPOTLIGHT

# Shopify wants your products everywhere. Who owns the customer?

Shopify's latest announcement signals an important change in ecommerce.

AI shopping agents are becoming another place where customers discover, compare and purchase products.

Shopify is opening its catalog, cart and checkout infrastructure to more of these experiences.

That creates opportunities for brands.

More discovery channels. Less friction. Potentially more transactions.

But it also raises an important question.

Who owns the customer relationship?

When shopping happens inside an AI assistant, brands may have less control over how products are presented, compared and recommended.

And the commercial impact remains uncertain.

Retailers will need to understand how these channels affect conversion, acquisition costs and customer data.

**Being available everywhere is valuable. Remaining commercially relevant is the challenge.**

### TIP FOR TODAY

See how AI presents your products.

1. Open your preferred AI assistant.
2. Ask it to recommend three products in your category.
3. Check whether your brand appears and how accurately it's described.

**Identify one product detail that could improve your visibility.**
